Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a side handle for a power tool, and in particular, to a side handle for a drill.
  • Drills in particular, hammer drills, comprise a main housing in which is mounted a spindle and a motor, which rotatingly and/or axially drives the spindle via gears and/or a hammering mechanism, also located within the housing.
  • the spindle transfers the rotational and/or axial movement of the spindle to a cutting tool, such as a drill bit, via a chuck or tool holder attached to the end of the spindle, forward of the main housing.
  • a cutting tool such as a drill bit
  • a chuck or tool holder attached to the end of the spindle
  • Such drills have two handles, a rear handle attached at the rear of the main housing and a side handle attached towards the front of the main housing, on one side of the main housing.
  • the side handle can be attached to either side of the main housing.
  • One type of side handle comprises a hand grip which is attached at one end to a base, which is attached to the side of main housing, and which extends away from the base and the housing in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spindle of the drill.
  • a problem with power tools, in particular drills, is that they generate a large amount of vibration during their operation.
  • the transfer of the vibration from the tools to the hands of the operator can lead to injury to the hands of the operator and therefore it is desirable to minimise the amount of vibration transferred.
  • One way of achieving this to provide a vibration dampener between the hand grip and the base to reduce the amount of vibration transferred from the base to the hand grip.
  • EP2082846 as published, describes such a design of side handle for a drill in paragraphs 45 to 52 with reference to Figures 7 to 13.
  • the side handle comprises a hand grip 84 (using the same reference numbers as EP2082846 ) which is attached to a bolt 106 via two vibration dampeners 118, 120.
  • the bolt 106 attaches to a base 80.
  • the dampeners 118, 120 are made from resilient rubber.
  • the operator applies pressure to the hand grip 84 in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the spindle of the drill to which the handle is attached, which is perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the hand grip.
  • this applies a rotation force onto the hand grip 84 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal an axis of the hand grip about an axis of rotation located in close proximity to the base 80.
  • This results in a large degree of sideways pressure being placed on the dampener 118 closest to the base 80, which, due to it being made from rubber, becomes compressed on one side. This reduces the performance of the vibration dampener 118.
  • the present invention overcomes or at least reduces the problems associated the design of side handle disclosed in EP2082846 .
  • a side handle for a power tool comprising:
  • the embodiment is for a side handle for a drill.
  • the side handle comprises a plastic grip 1016 which is mounted on a bolt 1012 via a vibration dampening mechanism (as shown in Figure 5 and which is described in more detail below).
  • the bolt 1012 has a threaded end 1019 which projects from the end of the grip 1016.
  • the side handle comprises a base 1050 and an attachment loop 1052.
  • the attachment loop 1052 comprises a flexible metal strip 1054 which is attached at both ends to a nut 1056 which has a threaded passage 1058 formed through it.
  • the base 1050 has a curved support 1060 and a tubular passageway 1062 which passes through its length. In use, the metal strip 1054 is wrapped around the body of a drill (not shown).
  • the nut 1056 is inserted into the tubular passage 1062 from the side of the base 1050 containing the curved support 1060.
  • the threaded end 1019 of the bolt 1012 is inserted into the other end of the tubular passage 1062 until it engages with the threaded passage 1058 of the nut 1056.
  • the bolt 1012 is then rotated using the hand grip 1016, causing the threaded end 1019 of the bolt 1012 to screw into the threaded passage 1058 of the nut 1056.
  • the nut 1056 is drawn towards the grip 1016.
  • the vibration dampening mechanism comprises a metal spring 1000.
  • the metal spring 1000 comprises six arms 1002 which are resiliently deformable and which are integrally formed with and extend from a central hexagonal plate 1004 in a symmetrical shape.
  • Each arm 1002 is L shaped with the first part 1080 extending away from the plate 1004 in the plane of the plate 1004.
  • the second part 1082 extends at an angle to the first part.
  • a circular aperture 1006 is formed through the plate 1004.
  • Formed on the bolt 1012 is a flange 1008 having two flat sides 1010 which extend tangentially to the longitudinal axis 1066 of the bolt 1012.
  • the spring 1000 is located on the circular shank of the bolt 1012 immediately behind the flange 1008.
  • the spring 1000 can freely rotate about the shank of the bolt 1012.
  • the ends of the arms 1002 are rigidly connected to the plastic grip 1016 using rivets. However it will be appreciated that the ends of the arms 1002 can be connected using other means such as glue or be encased within the wall of the grip 1016 which would be molded around the ends of the arms 1002.
  • the plastic cap 1014 comprises two clips 1015 and a recess 1068 which corresponds to the shape of the flange 1008 on the bolt 1012.
  • a circular aperture 1017 is formed through the base of the recess.
  • the plastic cap is mounted on the shank of the bolt in front of the flange 1008, the flange 1008 locating in the recess 1068 with the front end 1019 of shank passing through the aperture 1017.
  • the clips 1015 clip onto the edges of the plate 1004, holding the plate 1004 against the rear side of the flange. By clipping the plate 1004 to the cap 1014, both the spring 1000 and cap 1014 are locked onto the bolt 1012 around the flange 1008.
  • the clips 1015 prevent rotational movement between the cap 1014 and the plate 1004.
  • the flange 1008 has flat sides 1010, the flange 1008 can not rotate within the recess 1068 and therefore the cap 1014 can not rotate relative to the flange 1008 and bolt 1012.
  • rotation of the flange 1008 results in rotation of the cap 1014.
  • the plate 1004 being prevented from rotating relative to the flange 1008 and bolt 1012.
  • the cap 1014 located on the bolt 1012 on one side of the flange 1008, is clipped to the plate 1004, located on the bolt 1012 on the other side of the flange 1008, both the cap 1014 and plate 1004 are prevented from axially sliding along the bolt 1012.
  • the plastic grip 1016 can move relative to the bolt 1012 by the bending of the arms 1002.
  • the grip can move axially (Arrow A) relative to the bolt 1012 or rotationaly (Arrow B) about the longitudinal axis 1066 of the bolt 1012 and perpendicularly (Arrows C and D) to longitudinal axis 1066 of the bolt 1012 due to the flexible nature of the arms 1002.
  • the arms 1002 absorb vibration, reducing the amount transferred from the bolt 1012 to the grip 1016. However, the resilience of the arms 1012 is sufficient to support the pressure applied to the grip 1012 by the operator during use whilst reducing vibration.
  • ribs 1022 Formed on the inner walls 1020 of the grip 1016 are ribs 1022.
  • the ribs 1022 inside of the grip 1016 are located so that, when the grip 1016 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 1066 of the bolt 1012 relative to the plastic cap 1014 (by the bending of the arms 1002), the ribs 1022 would engage with the sides of the clips 1015.
  • the ribs 1022 When no pressure is applied to the grip 1016, the ribs 1022 are located with a space between the ribs 1022 and the clips 1015.
  • the user rotates the grip 1016. Rotational movement of the grip 1016 is initially transferred to the bolt 1012 via the arms 1002 of the spring 1000.
  • the design of the arms 1002 can arranged to alter the amount of resilience in the directions of Arrows A, B, C and D, or even prevent movement in any one of those directions.
  • the use of L shaped arms is particular beneficial in providing sufficient resilience in the direction of Arrow C so that, when the operator applies pressure to the hand grip 1016 in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of a spindle of the drill to which the handle is attached, which is perpendicular to longitudinal axis of the grip 1016, the arms 1002 provide sufficient support to the grip 1016 whilst providing good vibration dampening to the grip 1016.
  • a second vibration dampener 1070 Located at the far end of the bolt 1012 remote from the flange 1008, is a second vibration dampener 1070.
  • the dampener 1070 has the same design as the second dampener 120 (using the same reference numbers as EP2082846 ) described in EP2082846 .
